The OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f/1.2 PRO Lens is an excellent choice for Micro Four Thirds photographers looking for a portrait-length option. With a fast f/1.2 maximum aperture and a 90mm-equivalent focal length, this lens allows for creating striking images with a shallow depth of field, even in challenging lighting conditions.

In addition, the lens features a nine-blade aperture for smooth bokeh and a Z Coating Nano to reduce flare and ghosting.
In terms of physical design, the lens is weather-sealed for use in harsh weather conditions, making it a versatile option for outdoor shooting. The Movie & Still Compatible autofocus system provides smooth and quiet focusing, suitable for both photo and video applications. A manual focus clutch allows for a quick switch to manual focus control, while a printed depth of field scale on the lens barrel assists with pre-focusing and hyper focal focusing techniques. With its combination of impressive imaging capabilities and durable construction, the M.Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f/1.2 PRO lens is a valuable addition to any Micro Four Thirds kit.
